2009_11wwisrael_nazareth&betlehem, Palestine

the place we are working the 4th time

the last 3 time the world work seminar was hold in Tantur,

a little bit away from Jerusalem and 10 min. walk to a checkpoint to Palestine.

This time is hold in Nazareth, a city in the North of Israel.

It is totally different place。

Nazareth is living 70% Muslim and 30% Christians.

so, the place looks very Arabic, it is more closer culture what I saw last summer in Qualqilia.

So, the culture is different and also the people are different.

It is the 4th time to join this seminar with the team , but it has the similar beginnings atmosphere like the first time in Tantur. The people are more nice, more personal and more peace oriented.

But I feel also underneath of that deep pain and anger and also hopelessness.

On the same time, I also feel that this is not our first time to work with the team, many difficult topic was able to show up and be told by the people. Few topics like "Holocaust" took more time in the past that we could speak about it.

And such kind of hot keywords can show up already in the beginning.

The field is growing and the team is becoming also more skilled.

But also, many deep feeling is hold by the individuals so there is many body pain.

I wish I could offer the active meditation to just release the energy.....

in the evening I joined the dinner and we danced.

moving the body and release the feelings from the body was good.

world work nazareth already started!

arrived from Japan at 2:50 am at the airport,

I drived to the Israeli friends house and we wait there Argh who was coming from Palestine.

The place where my friend lives is the best place in Tel Aviv.

It was a big personal challenge for her and also exiting experience for Argh, to meet there.

And I was so happy that I could join this exiting moment.

I will try to share you the moments here and my thoughts around world work in Narazeth the next few days.

I will continue the dialog with Argh here personally, maybe I can share his story here when I have time.

This time it will be more the Israel inside conflict between the Jewish, Arabs, Christians, also the situaion in diversity of Jewish and Arabs will be coming up (just my own personal guessing!)

Also about money, about the world politics and religion I hope we are ready to talk.

And the topic of gender and sexuality shoul also come up (just my own personal guessing!!!)

now, the people from the team is arriving more and more,

many hallo and hugs is going around.

nice to be connected in that way.

to be continued...
